NO RECAP!

I sat in my seat on my way to Rome. It turns out that Valeriu had turned into a Italian guitarist in a band called 'Blood on the Window'. His name in the band was Ivan. We were all on our way to the concert right now. We were getting there rather late considering when it started. I had figured out that alcohol had a little bit of an affect on me now, but not much. When we got to the concert it was half way through. Hiei and I made our way to the front of the crowd and, I can't help but admit, started dancing to the music. Valeriu was actually VERY skilled with a guitar.

He looked down at me with blood red eyes. As I looked up at Valeriu he looked very surprised. Could he tell I had no heartbeat? In about an hour the concert ended. They were saying their goodbyes to the crowd when he stepped to the mic. His voice was like velvet, why wasn't he the singer?! "I hope you all enjoyed the show tonight," he said. Most of the girls in the crowd went wild. "Now, as usual, I will pick one person out of the crowd to come behind stage and receive a few free gifts from the band." Again the girls screamed and hollered at him.

Hiei put his hand in mine and whispered into my mind (He is going to pick you, you interest him) Lovely. (You are) cheesy, but I love it. I reached over and kissed his cheek. Valeriu pointed to me and I flashed him a fanged grin. His eyes became even more fixed on me. He put his hand down into the crowd to help me up onto the stage. The rest of the band gave their goodbyes and he took me behind the stage. He set his guitar in it's case and helped the drummer, Isaac, pack up his drums. "So miss..?" "Call me Yumi," I said. He nodded. "So Yumi, did you enjoy the concert?" he asked. I nodded and said, "Indeed I did but there's something I need to talk to you about in private, iValeriu/i."

He nodded and grabbed my hand taking me to a back room. "How is it you know who I am?" he whispered. "Koenma said you were the only one who could help me," I muttered. He straightened up. "Koenma sent you?" he said cautiously. I nodded. "Look, I haven't done anything wrong, it's not like I've had fresh blood lately. I swear I didn't k-" "You misunderstood me sir," I interrupted, "You're in no trouble." I let out a held breath and gave out a laugh. "Dear God don't scare me like that!" he said still laughing. I smiled and said, "I'll try." "So, can I get you anything? Blood?" he asked.

"You can do something for me, not blood though," I began, "Um, well I'll go ahead and give you a short version of what's going on. About 3 and a half years ago I was attacked by Dracula. He turned me into a vampire and then I left my family. I never killed anyone, but became a thief to not even put myself in human contact. Then Koenma made me join the spirit detectives. While I was with them, I found my love and got in contact with my family. Then I found Dracula, he had stolen what was rightfully my mates. So I killed him. Koenma gave me the permission to live a while after his death but then called me in to tell me about all this and the only way to spend eternity with Hiei was to find you and get you to turn me."

By the end of this short explanation my breathing was labored. It was true, I had to breathe now. His eyes were wide but a huge smile on his face. "Wow," he said. I couldn't help but laugh. "So, will you turn me?" I asked. He smiled, "Of course I will, how could I turn down fresh blood?" I laughed, "Dark humor." He smiled again now showing his fangs. "I think maybe we should go somewhere discreet through, perhaps the place you live?" he asked. I nodded and asked, "Can Hiei be there?" He cocked his head, "Hiei, your mate right?" I nodded. "Sure," he said.

(Is it alright?) Yes Hiei, it's fine. We're heading out to the car right now. He pulled on his jacket and we left out the back door. Hiei pulled the jeep around and Valeriu hopped in the front while I got in the back. We were all quiet on the drive to the house. When we stepped inside I could tell Hiei was rather tense. I smiled and grabbed his hand. I remembered first being turned. The 24 hours of pains shooting through my veins. But would it be different now? This time around would it be shorter because I was a vampire? Or would it be longer because I was dying? No way to tell except to go ahead through the process.

PART TWO!!

I sat cross legged on my bed with Hiei holding my hand Valeriu was pacing. It had been a while since he had had fresh blood. He was anticipating the taste, yet he didn't want to kill me. He gulped and walked over to me. "Are you sure about this," he asked. I looked at Hiei and smiled. "Yes," I muttered. He nodded and picked up my wrist and brought it to his lips. He breathed hesitantly and dragged his fangs over my flesh. Finally, I felt his fangs pierce the skin. I closed my eyes waiting for the pain.

Instead of pain though, it was just a slight tingling that traveled up my arm and to the rest of my body. I could feel him pull away but I couldn't open my eyes. Hiei and him were talking but my mind was buzzing. Then, my shoulder blades began to feel very strange. They were heated at first but the felt as if they were being exposed to the fires of hell. I screamed and kicked the bed feeling blades cut out of my back and expand. I coughed tasting blood. I sucked in air but it wouldn't help. I couldn't think. The pain was too overwhelming.

Finally it stopped. The pain was there, then switched off. I opened my eyes to a screaming Hiei. "She's dead! You killed her!" he shouted, "She was the only one in my entire life to love me! Now she's gone!" He was throwing and breaking things. "Hiei.." I whispered. I barely had any strength in me. He turned to me, his face red from his recent anger. He ran over to me and gently pulled me to his chest. "I though I lost you," he muttered with his face in my hair.

Valeriu looked at Hiei and I and smiled. "I'm sorry Yumi, I forgot to tell you that if you're turned my the first vampire you get wings," he said. He pulled his hand through his hair messing it. "Thanks," I said weakly. He smiled and nodded. "She needs to rest now Hiei, she's just gone through a lot of pain," he said putting a hand on Hiei's shoulder. Hiei nodded and gently laid me on the bed and cuddled me to his chest, I fell asleep instantly.

HIEI'S POV

She wasn't breathing like I had become accustomed to. Valeriu looked at me and sighed. "You are so lucky Hiei.." He said trailing off. I looked at him and said," Thank you so much." But it was as if he couldn't hear me. He was looking at Yumi. He brushed away a piece of stray hair. "I'm sorry, she reminds me so much of Sorin," he whispered. I looked at him and gave him a questioning look. "So much like her, except for her hair, Sorin's was so red.." He then turned away and looked at the wall.

"All my life, I have only had on lover," he started. "Her name was Sorin Belle Zaharia. Do you know of the story Romeo and Juliet?" he asked. I frowned and nodded. He flashed me a fanged grin. "I'm the one that told Shakespeare," he said, "But when I met Koenma, I asked to go back to the earth to find my true love again. I have yet to find her. But tonight when I met Yumi, I thought surely my wait must finally be over. But alas, she has found you. Apparently I must wait another two-thousand years."

My eyes went wide. Koenma didn't tell us how old he was. Two-thousand years old!! I felt really sorry for this guy, and extremely grateful. "Thank you again," I muttered. He nodded and began to walk out the door but stopped and said, "Take care of her Hiei." Then he left and I saw him take flight from the window.

THREE MONTHS LATER YUMI'S POV

The happiest day of my life!! I smiled and looked in the mirror at my white dress. Selene stood beside me in her own white dress. We had decided to have the wedding at the same time. Today was the day my sister would be married to Kurama(though she was already marked. They had decided to stay in Ningenkai for a year until I turned her. It was true, I would turn her so she could spend forever with Kurama. I had refused at first but when she screamed I had had the same done to me I couldn't retort. My little half-sister, Amanda, was our flower girl.

"We're getting married," she whispered. I nodded and smiled. "Thank you so much Yumi," she said. I nodded and looked at her. I wiped a tears from her cheek. "Well, I suppose I'll just have to annoy you forever," I said lightly. She laughed and smiled. We both grabbed our bouquets and headed to the door. Neither of us had called our father to walk us down the aisle. He was in prison anyway. Though our stepmother Annabelle was a bridesmaid with our mother. We both got along fine with our moms. Hiei and Kurama were both grinning ear to ear at the end of the aisle.

I spotted Valeriu in the last seat and smiled. He wasn't looking at me though, he was looking towards a certain blonde woman in a lavender dress by the bridesmaids.. My mother. I blushed and kept walking. We all said our vows. "Men, you may kiss the brides," the priest said. Hiei bent down and captured my lips and I couldn't help but smile for two reasons. Hiei just had that effect on me. And Secondly.. There was a priest here, and there were 2 vampires here and soon1(maybe 2) to be vampires.

The after party was what I always dreamed. A Masquerade Ball. Valeriu had asked my mother to dance and the couples were dancing to the beautiful classical music. After a few dances we stopped and Valeriu and my mother walked over. "Hey dear!" she said and kissed my cheek. I smiled and said, "So how are you liking it so far?" "Pretty good," she said pulling me aside. "Hey, who is that boy I've been dancing with?" she asked. "He's Valeriu, the man who turned me the second time," I said, "He's about 2,000 years old," I said. She thought this over for a second and turned to look at him. I smiled and looked at her. "I think he fancies you mom," I said giggling.

She blushed and looked back at me, "You think?" "I know," I said. "I-I'm gonna go dance some more," she stuttered as Valeriu looked over at her and flashed her a smile. I couldn't help but laughed. Hiei please be reading my mind. (What would you like?) Tell Valeriu that my mom fancies him (Oh trust me, he knows. And he thinks she's his second chance.) YAY!! (So when do we leave?) After the party (Yumi.. Tonight.. Is this the night I mark you?)

I thought this over for a second. Yes Hiei, tonight. (I love you Yumi) I love you too. We danced several times and I noticed my sister and Kurama had gone missing. We passed a mirror and my reflection showed and I smiled. A vampire could only be seen if she wants to.
